Hello Chris,
thanks for your answer,
Cool what type of receiver? An interferometer? A radar?
This will help understand the type of data, which I imagine
to be instrument specific.
This will be a cooled receiver for some application in radio astronomy.
We are for now not interested in the data that will be "received" but
rather in the data that characterise our system.
Got it, so you’ll need versioning. And the ability to have replicas, etc.
Exactly. My current versioning for any data uses git. Is this somehow
similar to versioning in oodt?
- need some sort of log for components of system
Sure, OODT has a way to set those up. Especially when you
put together OODT’s components by using the RADIX installer.
- need to be able to comment on components and log entries
This can be supported with some custom code and web interfaces.
I am confused now, by "system" I mean our receiver system, so I need to
log info for versions (I guess, this would be covered if the versioning
were somehow similar to git)
... the server system can be set up in a virtual machine or similar for
testing purposes, my desktop is a mac
Sure, we have a Vagrant install. Also a Docker container.
My first two attempts at installing have failed so far: could not
interact with resource manager via web interface. Do I need to do that
via cmd line? Web interface also sporadically showed nothing, but error
was not stable... Do I need some special connectivity from my frontend
to the server?? (server did not log any error)
I would start out by checking out Apache OODT RADIX:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OODT/RADiX+Powered+By+OODT
That will automatically install a full stack of OODT for you and give you
an idea how to organize OODT and the files and workflows and elements. Then
keep asking questions and we’ll help. You may also want to check out some
user guides e.g., the File Manager one is a start:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OODT/OODT+Filemgr+User+Guide
Thanks, will do that once again and hope for the best.
Keep the questions coming!
Done. ;-)
Best, Eva
